Omar Epps plays a cop who is just beginning to work undercover. Through his street smarts and bravery, he manages to nail a few smalltime dealers before he is assigned to the big case: to bust God. God happens to be LL Cool J in this case, who is more or less a deity in the community. As the head of the city's largest crime rings, he has the final word in everything and the power to ruin anyone he desires. As every day passes, Epps' character becomes one step closer to God, until he eventually falls "in too deep."

Now, I won't be one of those people that give away the ending for you, but I'll tell you this: this movie provides some of the most powerful violent images ever captured on film. Cool J's character is loved one minute and despised the next, and Epps often seems as if he has become one of the men he is trying to arrest. Also in the cast is Stanley Tucci, who plays Epps' doubtful superior officer.

There are tons of great qualities to "In Too Deep," but watching Epps' transformation is what truly makes this film a spectacle. Rymer successfully taps into what it is that really makes people tick, and does a fine job of displaying it. It's that exact realism that makes this film such a powerful story to witness, and a pleasure to experience.
